It's a cute cartoon, arguably worth winning the Oscar. But Kahrs leaving Disney had nothing to do with "slots." It has everything to do with those at Disney who don't believe he is capable of directing a feature. They're probably right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-80086062927000898112013-09-05T11:19:15.299-07:002013-09-05T11:19:15.299-07:00Okay, give me a break about this short.

However the story lost me when all of the paper airplanes literally took on a life of their own to bring the two characters together. At that point it became contrived and disappointingly predictable (which is inexcusable for a short). Had the paper airplanes remained lifeless objects that were maneuvered and manipulated by wind and other airflow from circumstance (e.g the train's movement), then the story would been far more clever and charming. To me it was lazy writing. This shouldn't garner this much attention.

How does the Company supporting your project, put you in their debt? He did Paperman for Disney, they showed it, he got paid, everybody's happy. That is the end of his obligation to Disney. He's not screwing them by leaving- had they wanted to keep him they could have. Maybe he'll go to DreamWorks, maybe he'll go to Sony. Chances are good he might wind up back at Disney eventually. If there's one thing Disney artists should have learned over the past 2 decades, it's "Don't get too comfortable". That means, look out for yourself, better yourself. Become a better artist, better filmmaker. That's what makes you a valuable commodity. Kahrs' left- great, now there's room for someone to move up and maybe do something great. But don't think for a second that if times were tough, Disney looks at your years of "loyalty" when the beancounters say it's layoff time.Pelter Unbleatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-6927521674286693032013-09-03T19:46:59.522-07:002013-09-03T19:46:59.522-07:00That makes him a giantic tool in my book Anonymous...That makes him a giantic tool in my book Anonymous Tool. He proposed an idea and Lasseter and company said no or 'okay but wait until 2018 or 2019' for it to be released, not greenlit, but released and so he jumps ship? What a piece of crap. Go join Dreamworks and make a crappy film that will come out in 2017. Wow, what a huge difference! Moron.

Were he to get one now (which he wasn't) it wouldn't be seen till 2018 or 2019 at the earliest.

Lasseter and Disney let him make Paperman when they had no moral or professional obligation to do so and once he becomes a success, he decides to leave the company instead of helping it and working on his a feature film for Disney. Wow, that's so profoundly ungrateful. Good riddance. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
